Share your experiences with us on social media, and tag us at #mybestself to enter this month’s prize draw.
‘I am fearless and therefore powerful’

Our new Mantra pendant, the Phoenix, is a depiction of that mythical, mysterious bird, representing the mantra, 'Always, I rise'. We wanted to create an inspiring piece of jewellery to encourage you, when life seems very tough. Something that would bring hope, connect you to your inner strength, and give you the courage, self-belief and positivity to turn things around.Something that would remind you that you have survived tougher circumstances or situations in the past, and you can do so again ...

We are excited to have joined together with UK charity, Smart Works, to create a partnership to help promote and support female self-belief in the workplace.
